Island Activities: There are numerous activities you can enjoy in Barbados! Go on snorkelling and enjoy unforgettable swimming with the turtles and snorkelling with views of brightly-coloured fish and tropical coral reefs. See Barbados from a different perspective with an off-road safari adventure in an open-back Jeep. It's an exhilarating ride through parts of the island you'll never see on a regular island tour.
You will love swimming with the gorgeous sea turtles and snorkelling while enjoying a fabulous Cool Runnings catamaran cruise. Lunch, drinks and transfers are included so all you'll need to pack is a towel, your camera and the sunscreen.
The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is located in the beautiful Scotland District in the north of the island, so even the journey to get there is fun. See the Barbados Green Monkey roaming through the mahogany trees, along with iguanas, turtles, deer and birds. You can visit the snake house & the aviary and hike to the historic Grenade Hall Signal Station.
more Activities: World-renowned Harrison's Cave is not to be missed. It has undergone recent renovation, with the addition of a world-class display centre and three glass-fronted elevators to take you 80 feet down from the cliff top to the cave entrance. You'll never see anything else like this natural wonder—a network of beautifully-lit natural limestone caves with cascading waterfalls and cool streams. Take a guided tram ride between majestic stalactites and stalagmites with photo stops along the way.
For the history buff there is the Barbados Museum, located in the historic Garrison area, showcases Barbadian history from Amerindian settlements to the present day. Just a short distance away is George Washington House, the only location where this former U.S. president stayed outside of North America.
Nature lovers can visit Animal Flower Cave, Flower Forest and Orchid World, with their breath-taking views and tropical blooms and foliage.
For the more adventurous, visit the Aerial Trek Zipline Experience!

Guestbook comments from the owner

“We loved Newstead Cottage. It is exactly as it appears in the pics online. It was our first visit to Barbados and we were so pleased with the island. The cottage is ideally located for easy and quick access to public transportation, beaches, (at the end of the street), restaurants, bars, etc. Susan is a very responsive host and replied to any questions we had as if she was on site. Claire the housekeeper is a gem. Everything we needed and/or were promised was there-beach towels, fully stocked kitchen, lovely shaded deck with furniture for sitting out, air-conditioning, very comfy bed and bedding, lots of books in case you run out. We felt very comfortable and secure at Newstead.”

The bedroom is very spacious and features a comfortable QUEEN size antique iron bed with four pillows and premium linens, has both air conditioning and ceiling fan for your comfort as well as antique furniture, local artwork, en suite bath and two windows . All linens are included and changed twice-weekly.

Amazing stay in this cozy cottage

Great little cottage for 2 friends looking to explore the island! Super close to everything. St Lawrence Gap is a 20-30 min walk, Accra Beach is a 5 min walk, plenty of restaurants and night life in the area! Public transportation system is very convenient and easy to use to get around. The property was clean and cozy. All amenities were perfect. Claire was an amazing help. Will definitely be back!

Convenient and comfortable

My husband and I stayed for the last two weeks in July and truly had a chance to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The cottage is a good size so you don't feel on top of one another and we love to cook (especially on long trips) and we had everything we needed to do so. We were there during extreme heat which made cooking a little tricky as it was very hot and humid our entire stay. The air conditioning in the bedroom was very much enjoyed!

The living room was a great place to relax and have a spot to eat and plan our days. The beach is 5 minutes walk and there are chairs At the cottage so you don't have to rent them on the beach whic h is nice.

Lots of great places to eat within walking distance - shakers is 2 minutes walking distance and had the best fresh seafood and rum sours that were fabulous and very inexpensive!

Both Susan and Claire were vey prompt in responding and helping us with any questions we had- even when we accidentally locked ourselves out and had no phone service- the wifi at the cottage worked so we could send emails and we were taken care of right away.

Between the hospitality and the space and the amazing beauty of the water and the beaches of Barbados we will look to visit again.

Lovely cottage in perect location

This was my 2nd time in Barbados and the location of the cottage is absolutely perfect.It is walking distance to my favorite beach, Accra,and everything else like sites and restaurants are also a short walk away. We had a rental car to explore all of the island but one could easily stay here without that. The apartment is spacious and equipped with everything one could need. There's AC in the bedroom which came in handy as it got very hot in the afternoon. The patio is my favorite feature ,very relaxing to sit out there in the evening surrounded by the beautiful plants all around. We would definitely stay here again!

This property is only a few minutes walk from the quaint seaside village of Rockley, a central locale on the South Coast where you will find Quayside Centre with an array of shops, world-class restaurants, banking, the local pharmacy, the new Lanterns Mall, a selection of bistros & cafes, handy public transport, and of course the absolutely breathtaking Accra Beach!!! Newstead Cottage is only a 5 minute drive to the Historic Garrison Savannah district which includes George Washington House, the Barbados Museum, or visit the Savannah on a day when there is international horse racing or other local events! The famous St. Lawrence Gap is party-central and is 5 minutes by car and is brimming with restaurants, pubs, live shows, and other night-life! You may also want to visit the town of Oistins for the famous Friday Night Fish-Fry where you can have a rum with the locals in a very relaxed setting... The new South Coast Boardwalk is a few minutes walk and is perfect for a leisurely stroll!
